About Ronald
Ronald Chapman earned his law degree from Western Michigan University Cooley Law School in 2006 after completing a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy at Oakland University in 2002. He also completed instruction at the Naval Justice School, a credential that complements both civilian and military legal work. His academic path combined liberal arts inquiry with practical legal training.
His early career bridged military and civilian roles. In 2008 he served as an attorney in the United States Marine Corps, applying the training he had received at the Naval Justice School. That same year he worked as a clerk at Chapman Law Group, a position that gave him exposure to day-to-day litigation and client work in a private practice setting. By 2013 he was listed as a lawyer at Chapman Law Group, where he took on greater responsibility for case preparation and client counseling.
Chapman’s professional affiliations reflect a range of legal interests. He has been a member of the State Bar of Michigan since 2009. He holds membership in the Michigan State Bar Criminal Law and Administrative Law sections, both since 2014. Since 2015 he has served as Vice Chair of the Legislative Committee of the Michigan State Bar Health Care Law Section. He is also active in the Marine Corps League. Those memberships indicate involvement in both practice-area communities and bar governance on legislative matters.
The combination of military legal training and bar section work suggests a practice that crosses several areas of law. His ties to the Health Care Law Section and his leadership role on its legislative committee point toward experience in regulatory and statutory matters affecting health care providers. Membership in criminal and administrative law sections suggests familiarity with prosecutions, administrative hearings and regulatory defense. His Marine Corps service and Naval Justice School background add practical experience in military justice and related procedures.
Chapman maintains a presence in multiple locations. He is associated with Chapman Law Group and has offices in Michigan, Hollywood and Sarasota, and he schedules appointments in Miami. Colleagues and clients see him handling matters that require both administrative navigation and courtroom readiness.
He continues to practice through Chapman Law Group and manages cases that draw on his military training, health care law legislative work, and experience in criminal and administrative proceedings. His current practice focuses on matters across those areas.
